That clip with Ron Swanson is great. Every once in awhile you find yourself in that situation. You ask a question and they proceed to read the box, or look at their website as if I'd be asking if either had the answer to my question, lol
They have stacks of them at my local Lowes here in Washington. Didn't know they were rare.
Whatever you do… don’t go buy them all to make millions on your investment 🤣🤣
My sewing group loves them. I have 4 hite husband has a blue and black, bought 2 red and 2 blue for my grandson for their first toolbox. They are 4,3,2, and youngest is coming soon! Will be for their Christmas presents. Will hold action figures of their choice.
I think I'll get one for my 2yr-old granddaughter. I know I saw some cute little pink tools to go in it. Got to start them young!
Great idea!
Mine sits right next to my 3D printer and holds the weird collection of scrapers, glue sticks, replacement nozzles, and other crud. I know someone who uses one as a jewelry/cosmetics box.
And I see pallets of them from time to time at the local Lowes; they aren't _always_ in stock, but blue and black are in stock regularly enough that someone who really wants one is probably going to be able to get one for list price. (Now, if you want one in any of the other colors that the Lowes web site suggest exists...)
My daughter would love a pink I’m sure 😅
I have two, a black one with 3D printer parts and tools in it and a blue one with hobby tools.
There’s also a three drawer version.
Ditto for use as a pen / pencil holder. Also makes a good jewelry box.
Internet offers a competing version from P.I.T.
At last a review that matches the intent of the box. It's a fun box people. Quit trying to compare it to a SnapOn box.
That’s what I’m talking about!
SnapOn would $1175.00
@@sharkskin3448I know matco offers one that’s maybe $200-250
All my quilter lady friends must have one of this, pink color.
We store sewing machine tools, accessories, fabric cutting tools (rotary cutters, scissors) etc.
That is awesome!
I was able to get one for one of my sons. Bought a sheet of felt and lined the drawers. It is a fun addition. I'd also have one but same - the stores around me allowed someone to buy them out and yes - they have them online at least double the price.
That’s so annoying! We need a complaint line to call 🤣
I went to my in-laws (North of Ft. Meyers, FL) for Thanksgiving and I told them I had to make a mandatory trip to Lowe’s on Black Friday. I got there round noon and there were still plenty of these left, I bought myself 2 of them for $12 each. I was so nervous that they’d be sold out after hearing how people were snatching them all up across the nation.
$12?!?!?! That’s a great deal!
@@TheReformationWoodshop yeah, I just found the Lowes Black Friday 2023 ad and it was actually $12.98.
I kept seeing them in my Puse making groups. They were using them for hardware and sewing tools. They all wanted Pink. I wanted Red. Ordered mine from Lowes. Got it and the drawers were not working right. Took it back. Decided I didn't really need it. Just went to a Discount Bin store and lo and behold I found one....But it is plain black and no Kobalt decal...Big plus for me. Got it for $12. Loaded it up with my sewing machine attachments. Three machines...Three drawers. Love it. Seems sturdier than the Kobalt one I got. Think it was from Amazon. Seemed like everything there was.
I got one at Lowe’s. I keep my competition barbecue thermometers in it on top of my barbecue accessory tool chest.😊
Very cool!
The pink one looks fire ngl.
Bought two for my wife for Christmas 👊🏻
I did buy 4 of the blue to match my US General. One for each of my kids, and one for me. I bought some drawer liner for them and will just let the kids do whatever they want. Mine I think I’ll store some specialty, odd tools like you said. Or maybe my side of the bathroom sink manscaping tools. That’s what my Dad did with his.
Great ideas!
Mine is on my dresser....great as a valet....watches and such ....
Got it for just a socket storage box works great can’t complain haha
You’ll still end up losing your 10mm lol
That bit holder in the shape of a jaw is hilarious! 🤣 Also, what you said about usability is true. I'm not interested in it. But someone else might.
Yeah it’s one of my favorites!
I got a black one today, its cool
Great for an EDC valet on the nightstand or dresser.
For sure 👍🏻
I don't need 'em but I bought 4! All black. They are going in my shop office.
Thanks for the laughs! I am using mine in my sewing room
That’s a great idea!
any idea how to make the drawers slide smoother?
Hmmm I haven’t had any issues so I don’t think I can be of help.
I think I’m going to cut the slides off and weld on nicer ball bearing slides
Just get the Harbor Freight version. It has ball bearing slides.
I saw some that people put waterslide decals on and then filled it up. Example, Singer logo and then filled it with sewing machine thread, bobbins, and needles. They must have painted over Kobalt logo because I couldn't see it.
Wow! A lunchbox with sandwich drawers…
Great idea! I’ve seen a lot of good mods for it but not that one.
😂
i bought one wish they supplied tool liners
I saw some of these at a local store but all they had was pink and couldn't try any of the drawers to see how smooth or rough they are because of the box
I actually think pink is the most popular so you might need to snag one up!
HAHA, I happened to grab one of these back on black Friday last year. They were on sale for like $10. It's still in the box, I want to think of something cool to do with it, just haven't come up with anything yet.
For sure I’m gonna make mine awesome!
i would use it as an everyday carry organizer
I have the cutest pink one. I bought it about 5 months ago but just took it out the box to start using it. The box has a cancer warning. Not sure what that is about. Also, my workspace is not static, which is why the small size toolbox was attractive to me. That is why I am disappointed it does not have a clasp to keep it closed AND a top handle to carry it around. I will work on adding these items myself but it would be cool for future models.
I would love a handle and clasp too. Saw a man on TH-cam add it to his. Not sure I want to try that though.
As far as cancer don’t eat it. According to the country of California….
I just saw them at my local Lowe’s , for 19.99 , I’m going back for one .
👊🏻👊🏻👊🏻
Good for earbuds or in ear monitors.
For sure!
They got popular on Tik Tok the pink ones make great make up storage 😊
I just bought two for my wife 🕺🏼
I really want one. Just dont know what I could use it for and Im a mechanic by trade
They have a lavender purple now!
No way! My daughter would love that!
Their awesome - The now released Harbor Freight ‘US General mini’ one is much higher quality and $2.00 cheaper. It also comes in a high quality box that is easy to gift wrap for a great easy unique useful gift for less than 20$.
Will be only 10$ for Black Friday -but- even 18$ is great.
😳😳 I’ve got to go check that out!
I literally paused the video and went to Lowe’s website and ordered one.. 🤦🏽♀️😂
What….. 🫠 THATS AN OPTION?!?
@@TheReformationWoodshop yep got in within 48hrs.. 🤷🏻♀️
My wife got one for Christmas for her craft crap, not sure what's in it.
4:05 - 100% a gimmick and I 100% want one. It would look cool sitting on a desk at work.😎
Yes!
I literally have this same toolbox sitting in my main toolboxes hutch with the same teeth bit set on top. Weird.
👀👀 who’s the clone?
Not rare at lowes in Richmond VA...stacks of them! Maybe not selling so trying to build some hype..
I think they’ve caught up to the demand because I’ve recently seen them stocked as well.
lol ive noticed facebook market with them flooded at 50-60 dollars but its been sitting at lowes for 20 dollars for a month now.
You gotta love it!
I have a few as a aww moment. At 20 I'd day sure.... kinda cheap quality. I'd encourage you if you want a small cute metal toolbox get the p.i.t they are the oem for snapon. They come in great colors and my woman has stolen every pit box top and bottom chest for her makeup in the bathroom.
Interesting - since you said that, I went to check out the P.I.T., as I had never heard of it before. I also found that Sam's Club has a little "Members Mark" toolbox at the same price as the Kobalt, but it includes 4 tools - pliers, scissors, 2 screwdrivers, and a hammer.
Thanks for the tips!
I work in IT and i keep my clutter of random tools in it on my desk.
Lowe's should limit the MT to 5-7 per customer, per day to encourage more foot and online traffic. Secondary markets are total BS and unnecessary. Seen a concert recently
im an animal control officer and its on my desk holding all my pens, pads, my badge, ID, post its, and other random stuff I get
That is awesome!
The people that buy these up are disgusting. Its a stupid little cheap toolbox but honestly its pretty attractive and versatile. When they were on sale they obviously all disappeared and you can't even order them online anyways. Went in the other day and theres a full pallet of them in all the colors still.
I use them to store my singer sewing stuff in I put little feet on them also use them to store my silhouette cutting stuff in I spray paint them to match my room and put decals on the it won’t let me leave a picture are I would show you I also bead flowers I use one for them I have four right now
Lol, Menards has Knock off right now for 7.99 after like a .99 cent rebate, I’m getting all the pallets they have and retire with millions selling them on fake book and crap list and bla bla bla. Just kidding prolly get 6, make perfect Christmas gifts👍👍 and I’ll keep one for me, they look fun to have!!
No handle
Add one!
Needs a handle
Good idea 👊🏻
We don’t have them in the uk without paying $150-$200
There are a few other brands with minis 🤷♂️
Annoying? I get pissed off.
😂not even rare
Not anymore 👍🏻
